Baker boy cap with peak

Hook yourself a hat for all seasons with my retro baker boy crochet hat!

This crochet baker boy hat with peak fits an average ladies head (approx 54-60cm/ 21-23.5in head circumference). Designed for confident beginners, the pattern uses simple increasing and decreasing techniques in single crochet (UK double crochet). A4 pattern includes instructions in UK crochet terms and US crochet terms separately.

To make this hat, you will also need: • Any aran-weight yarn. I used Rowan Summer Tweed (70% silk, 30% cotton; 50g/108m), 2 skeins of 514 (Reed). • A 6mm (US J/10) hook for the main body of the hat and a 5mm (US H/8) hook for the peak. • Piece of cardboard or thin plastic

The yarn I used works as aran to this tension: 12 double crochet (US single crochet) sts and 13 rows to 10cm (4in) square using 6mm hook. Finished hat measures 57cm/22.5in in circumference (fits average woman’s head).
